Reviews
- Generally interesting
But so, so, Western-centric. Every now and then we get thrown a bone from the rest of the world, but I wouldn’t recommend it to someone who asked me for a podcast that covered important *world* literature.

United Kingdoma year ago - He let’s the guest speak
Such a wonderful podcast about books, and the life the take after being published to the world. I love how the host allows the guests to speak and share. He listens to the guests, which then allows us to listen. Can’t wait to hear more! Thank you!

Fantastic concept and execution. The books and interlocutors are well chosen. I haven’t found any other podcast like this, which is surprising. I do think that the nudism issue should be addressed, but I personally don’t have a problem with it.
Apple Podcasts5jrm36United States2 years ago - What a literate podcast about literature should be!
Have only listened to four so far but the analyses have been probing, intelligent and grasping (in a good way) for the elemental in the works. The guests selected have avoided the usual mono-colour of a single perspective (some of Melvyn Bragg’s stuff) or let the “wanted” nuance get in the way. This stuff is a revelation for the many of us who regret dozing through hangovers in lecture halls and wasting the opportunity to understand the importance of the primary sources in their youth.

It's wild how each interview is done completely nude, but THEY NEVER ADDRESS IT ON THE SHOW!
